Calibrate A SMARTboard

Purpose: Sometimes, when using a SMARTboard, you will notice that the cursor does not track with your finger or pen, but may be a couple of inches off. When this happens, the board needs to re-calibrated, or “oriented.”

Follow the on-screen directions – the board will close out of orientation when it is complete and will work perfectly!
